DUDES OF EASTERN EUROPE.

JUDE OF EAS lEhN
Hungarian, Bulgarian, Grecian' Al
bantuu. and Prusstau Imitators OF
Berry wall.
The Bulgarian or Roumelian dude in
cases the lower portion of his body IN
~pantaIoons of a gray, blankety
material, %tight-ftting about the knees
and calves, but with bell bottom pro
fuselv adorned with black BRAID IN"
which almost hides his feet. The seat
of the ~pantaloons hangs down to MS
knoes and wobblos from side to side as
he walks along. The front of the legs
is also adorned with black braid figures
and artistic curves. Around his waist
;s q voIuminous red kemmCrbuQd or
q sash, many yards in length enc'rcll%o
him in its folds a dozen times. 10 put
this garment on properly requires the
aid Of an assistant who stands off and
holds one end while the dude turns
himself round and round; as he takes
up the length like a human bobbln the
assistant advances and pays it out. A
short Jacket OF the same material as
his trousers and ornamented with the
same STYLE of braid and a Turkish fez
or Russian brimless hat completes q
makeup that is irresistible to the bellies
of the Balkan peninsula.
The genuine Magyar dude Is pic
turesoue in the extreme. A billy-cock
hat adorned with peacock feathers is
cooked jauntily on m side of his
head, a silk handkerchief embracing
several briget cclors encircles his neck,
and be wears a l~ight-colored jacket en-
broidered all over with quaint designs
in colored silk. white p%antaloons with
embroidered buttons, coming a little
below the knees and so full as to re-
semble a skirt, and, lastly, shiny top
boots.
The Albanians residing in Constants
nople are the biggest handles in the
Turkish capital; their costumes are
gold braided brimless hat. fanciful short
jacket with false hanging sleeves, white
frilled shirt with embroidered sleeves
and front, a founced white kilt that
protrudes like a coryphee's float, white
stockings bound with blue ribbon, and
low, dainty shoes. A gay colored sash,
with oriental pistols richly chased
thrust therein, completes the costume.
One of the biggest surprises in neither
garments the whole world round Is
worn by the Grecfan dudes one sees on
the streets of Constantinople. Imagine
a sky-blue silken balloon bottom-side
up and fastened around the wearer's
waist, two neat-itting leg-holes made
in the bulge, and the whole bulb col
lapsed and swaddling about the legs
when walking, and you can imagine
the lower story of a Greek dude. His
trunk is enveloped in a tight-fitting
jacket OF some other shade Of blue,
with loose flowing sleeves and white
furbelows showing underneath. His
head is adorned with a Greek fez. from
which an enormous black or blpe sassel
hangs down his back. This ornamental
~appendage looks as If ever on the eve
of pulling the fez off the wearer's head
by its great weight. He wears the
ordinary brogans and socks and some
times leaves the calver OF his legs bare.
The Persian dude wears a tab
cylindrical hat of black lambs wool,
which assumes a decidedly knowing
cock or angle on the back Of his head.
His long black hair is trained to curl
stiffy upward just below the base Of
the hat. He wears a sort Of round.
about coat, fitting fairly tight about
the body, but which at the waist de-
veIops into a plaited skirt reaching half
way downt to the knee. When he walkg
he ~endeayors to have this skirt flor
rhythmically up and down in accord
with his steps. His b~antaloons arc Of
European pattern, with very loose legs,
and which are left sufficiently short Il
display the embroidered tops Of bis
socks, six inches above his shoes. The
material Of his trousers IS generally
European broadcloth, and that Of hi
coat cashmere-shawl material of sorae
lowery pattern or silk goods Of SONS
bright. gay color. NeU York SIN.
